Pre-match information
The Vietnamese women's volleyball team finished the group stage of the 2024 VTV Cup in third place in Group A. Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet and his team earned 5 points after 2 wins and 1 loss.
Accordingly, the opponent of the Vietnamese women's team in the VTV Cup quarter-finals is Henan Club (China). This team won second place in Group B with 6 points after 2 wins and 1 loss.
Basically, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team has regained its excitement in the last 2 matches. In addition, the athletes also ensure maximum physical strength when entering the field to compete.
Previously, in the match against Paint Masters, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet let the pillars like Bich Tuyen, Tu Linh, Nguyen Trinh rest, instead using Tra My, Kieu Trinh, Nhu Quynh, Nguyet Anh more. This was also considered a test of the team's lineup with young players before entering the quarter-finals.
Compared to the first match, the Vietnamese women's team has significantly improved in terms of expertise. The players performed well in step 1, from which they developed diverse attacks from the 2nd and 4th sides or quickly hit the net. The back row attacks also brought certain effectiveness.
On the other side, Henan (China) is considered an equal opponent. This team owns a squad of quality players such as opposite setter Duan Mengke (1m98), middle blocker Han Wenya (1m92), Zhao Boyan (1m92), setter Zhang Zihan (1m87) or main attacker Cai Xiaoqing (1m80)...
Among them, Cai Xiaoqing is a familiar face as she played for Long Son Thanh Hoa Cement Club in the first phase of the 2024 National Volleyball Championship. The knowledge of this main striker will help Henan (China) have more options to counter the strength of the Vietnamese women's volleyball team. She is considered the most dangerous striker on the opponent's side.
Therefore, the home team needs to be very careful and follow the coaching staff's tactics to achieve the best results, thereby winning a ticket to the semi-finals.
